Line 52 Skips Stops on Le Conte, Le Roy Avenues

Riders using Line 52 buses in the San Francisco-San Jose metro area face temporary service changes as construction forces route modifications. Transit officials said buses are skipping stops along Le Conte Avenue and Le Roy Avenue, with the disruption classified as high-severity due to significant impact on regular service patterns. Specific details about how many stops are affected weren't available by publication time.

Construction Work Prompts Route Adjustment

The stop closures stem from ongoing construction work in the area, according to the transit agency. Officials said the work requires buses to bypass the affected street segments to maintain schedule reliability and passenger safety. Transit agencies typically reroute buses around construction zones when road conditions make normal operations unsafe or impractical. The agency didn't provide details about what type of construction is underway or which entity is performing the work.
